Wheat, meet the adolescent chaff
I was going through some old bookmarks today, and a lot of people are abandoning their weblogs. A number of personal sites I checked on had decided to close up shop for various reasons, from "not enough time" (the most frequently cited reason by far, and who can argue?) to "I don't like my weblog software anymore." (?) The low barrier to entry that distinguished the BlogBoom may be causing self-filtering and evolution now. Are we headed into a period of maturation? (God, I sound like a MeFi post.)

Yes, I think we are (heading for maturation) - in the end, only people who are otherwise used to expressing themselves in writing, keeping those quaint paper-based diaries, or updating web pages will find more of a permanent foothold in the world of Blogging.
